Notes. For each model considered (II or III), the first line (in italic) gives the value of the transport parameters used to generate the artifical data (the halo size is set to L = 4 kpc). Each subsequent line corresponds to the MCMC-reconstructed values (most probable value, and relative uncertainties corresponding to the 68% CI) based on a given parameters/data option (see Sect. 3.2). The last column gives the value of the best χ2/d.o.f. configuration found (corresponding to the curves shown in Fig. 1). A value in square brackets corresponds to the fixed value of the parameter for the analysis. An interval in square brackets corresponds to the prior used for the analysis (the posterior PDF obtained is then close to the prior).

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.

Initial download of the metrics may take a while.
